Red Sox Hall of Famer Ted Williams went-out on top with a home run in his final at-bat.  Next Saturday, New Hampshire Hall of Fame high school football coach Chuck Lenahan of Plymouth Regional hopes to end things on a high note as well.

Lenahan's Bobcats will play Portsmouth for the state's Division II title in his final game as head coach.  If Plymouth can come-out on top, it would be the school's 20th state football championship under Lenahan, who is retiring after 43 years as head coach of the Bobcats.

Lenahan, who didn't win a game in his first season in 1971, brings a 355-70-1 record into the game.  In addition to the 19 state titles, 13 of Lenahan's teams have finished undefeated.

Plymouth brings a 10-1 mark into next week's game.

Plymouth Regional Wins Another Championship

The Plymouth Regional dynasty continued Saturday as it beat Laconia 14-7 in the New Hampshire Division IV championship giving the program its fourth straight title and eighth in the last nine years. The Bobcats seniors finish a perfect 44-0 and equal the feat of the 2000-2003 teams that also went undefeated while winning four straight titles. Plymouth Regional hasn't lost a game since losing to Souhegan 28-10 on November 6, 2004 while amassing a 95-3 record over the last nine years.

Saturday's game was unique because it matched-up reigning 2007 champs. Plymouth won the Division III title last year while Laconia won the 2007 Division IV title. Click here for game story.
